Help 50 Women Suffering from Fistula in Bangladesh
Bangladesh
Women and Girls
In this area of Bangladesh 90% of women give birth at home with no medically trained assistance. After being in labor for days, the prolonged pushing can cause a fistula (hole) in their urinary tract/and or rectum. Continuous dribbling of urine/feces 24 hours a day makes life a misery for these women. Abandoned by husbands, family and friends due to the continuous stench of urine these women live isolated lives. They don't know that surgery is available, and they can get their lives back.
